Sebring Silver, chill out man, and stop acting like a parent!
SupraQuick, I totally agree that you know exactly what you are doing, and I think alot us have control of our cars too. The only thing that sucks is that when you go that fast on a puclic road, it's the other people that make mistakes, not you. But you going that fast, a mistake can be costly!
I agree with you though, I probably would have done it too!

I'd be a hypocrite to say anything bad about driving at those speeds. It doesn't seem like he's doing it everyday, he was in an extreme circumstance in which there may have been a 5% chance of something terrible happening on the road that was unforseeable, he was willing to chance those extremely low odds in order for his life not to go down a bad route. I probably would have done the same if traffic was light and i saw no danger.

I rarely drive like that, but I will get into triple digits every once in awhile. I agree it's hella dangerous, cuz getting caught or crashing is always a possiblity.

Pappy,
.......I am a Parent! ..and those could have been my kids, or you or your friends kids in that light traffic on their way to the beach on a Saturday morning. I stand by my post, I think his behavior was juvenile, reckless and stupid.
The people who post on this forum love cars and I along with others are guilty of excessive speed when driving the kind of cars we love. However, to avoid the consequences for his own actions, he placed innocent people at risk. That is wrong.
... And to sound even more paternal, Supra Quick should forget racing school and finish school, so he can learn to spell and then not have to live by a moto

145 isn't that fast for public streets... hell state troopers will top over 130 mph to catch up to someone running 15mph over the limit. I ride sportbikes... Sportbikes get up to 145 VERY quickly in a VERY short distance. There is little danger running a sportbike (or a BPU+++ SUPRA) up to 145 mph. The only trump card are the other drivers. When I decide to "get my speed on", I do it where I KNOW that I don't put others or myself in danger. If I pass a car, doubling their speed, I do it at the edge of the lane so even if they did move over I and it was too late to brake, I could easily go right around them with little thought. Sportbikes are OH SO rediculously stable and easy to control at those speeds... Some people say that riding a Hayabusa at 180 mph feels like crusing at 90 mph in a honda civic. With the correct conditions, you could ride 140 all day...
